From Community to Corporate

Pros

The lab has a strong community spirit - takes care of all employees and participated with the local community

Cons

Has become more "corporate" and isolated from the community. Employees are less loyal or engaged in the mission of the lab and feel like a giant cog in the wheel with little opportunity to contribute to the growth and direction

Pros

The level of research that goes on at TJL is on par with any top research organization in the country. The sharing of scientific knowledge is amazing. The access to top researchers from around the world is an incredible experience.

Cons

The salary structure is the downfall of this organization. Leadership salaries have skyrocketed while worker salaries remain exceptionally low. The average salary advertised only seems high due to a few who make an unreasonably high amount.
